Who it's for
Almost any dog, which is rare in this category. The reason it works past the first week is that difficulty is a function of how much you put in - a full one dispenses easily, a nearly empty one is genuinely hard. That gives you a dial most puzzle toys do not have.
The 7,607-rating sample is the largest of the dog puzzle toys we compared, from a brand with a long history in enrichment.
Who it's not for
Anyone living above a neighbour on hard floors. The recurring complaint is noise - a hard plastic ball shoved around tiles at six in the morning carries. A rug solves most of it.
It is also not a chew toy. A dog that destroys plastic will destroy this.
Pros
- Difficulty scales with fill, so it stays interesting
- Largest review sample of the puzzle toys we compared
- Cheap enough to be a low-risk purchase
- Doubles as a way to slow a fast eater
Cons
- Noisy on hard floors
- Not chew-resistant
- Needs supervision with determined destroyers
- Cleaning requires disassembly if you use wet treats
